ABSTRACT
We report a large submandibular dermoid cyst located laterally at the floor of the mouth. Classification, etiopathogenesis, positive and differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis are discussed. This anomaly is an infrequent congenital disorder that usually becomes apparent during the second or third decade of life. Prognosis is excellent after correct surgical treatment.
